Tunisian Landscape

August Macke · 1914

Why it's great

White buildings and soft colored hills glow in the North African sun in a painting by August Macke in 1914. He traveled to Tunisia in April of that year with Paul Klee, and the light there inspired some of his best work before World War I began.
